Vitamins and Base Stat Relation

As I understand it, a pokémon's nature and any vitamins they may have taken are added before determining the base stat relation to be followed when leveling up. If that is so, what happens if you feed a pokémon vitamins so that the base stat relation is altered and their current distribution becomes illegal? Say, it had originally 7 HP and 8 Attack, you had put 5 points in attack for a total of 13, and then fed it two HP increasing vitamins (don't recall which one that would be). Do you immediately reset the stats?

Or did I misunderstand and the base stat relation is not altered by vitamins?

Base Stat Relations are affected by Vitamins. The stats from level up stay the same. You can't spend points any anything that is illegally too high until it would be legal again. And things that are illegally too low must have points spent on them until the are high enough to be legal again.

Questions like this should go in the general FAQ: http://forums.pokemontabletop.com/topic/10272155/185/#new


Edit: Upon further examination of the rules, I was wrong. The book doesn't say anything about what to do if vitamins cause a change in BSR. I don't think a re-stat is unreasonable. That does lower the value of Re-Balancing quite a bit though. And potentially increases the value of Dietitian. The rich get richer I suppose.

Eh, I think it's fine the questions go here.

As far as I'm concerned, whenever a Pokemon's Base Stats change enough to alter BSR, the player should receive a full restat, or at least be allowed to alter the stats to follow BSR. The same should happen at evolution.

It does happen on evolution. You get a full restat upon evolve.

I've always taken it as that from that level on, you have to sink stat points into rebalancing the stats. To be fair, most of the time if a single point boost/drop would alter the BSR, chances are you were already putting points fairly evenly to pump up the desired stat as much as possible while putting the least amount of points into an unnecessary stat, so it wouldn't be that much more to rebalance.

Thats what you have to do when the BSR gets wonked up due to a mentor shift in nature, or vitamains .. you then have to put points into the stats as you level until its "fixed" again, meaning BSR are proper

On page 199 it states:

Furthermore, there are several Features that allow trainers to break Stat Relations; when adding stats, you don’t need to “correct” Stats due to the “violations” made due to these features. A Trainer with the “Enduring Soul” Feature for example, could raise their Charmander’s HP to match or exceed any other stat, despite the fact that it’s at the lowest priority for Base Stat Relations. Furthermore, this trainer would NOT be compelled to raise other Stats to “fix” the violations caused by this artificially raised high HP.


This implies that, since these features allow you to ignore having an imbalanced BST, normally you would need to raise other stats until you "fixed" the imbalance. Of course, I'm sure there are several ways to interpret this from "need to put all points in the next higher stat" to "you can do whatever you want as long as you don't raise that imbalanced stat". So, in this case, I'd advise speaking to your GM.
